Abstract

A protective garment (10) is adapted to embrace a user's lower leg (13) and/or foot (12) to provide enhanced performance and protection against injury during the performance of sporting activities. The garment (10) has an outer surface (16), an inner surface (17) adapted for contact with a user's skin (18), and one or more special features, which may include: a web of elastic fibres or yarns (22) to apply pressure to the user's ankle (23) and/or calf ; an adhesive layer (26) applied to the inner surface (17) and a smooth finish applied to the outer surface (16); a flexible network of interconnected cells (19) to absorb and/or disperse applied force; one or more shock-absorbing elements (35) overlying potential injury sites; one or more sensory enhancement elements (27) to impart enhanced perception; a removable seam (21 ) to enable quick removal of the garment (10) in the event of injury; and/or a thermally sensitive material incorporated into the garment (10) to provide a closer fit by contraction upon the application of heat.
